The 9th amendment says we have rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution. Paul Ryan says that our rights come from God. Whether the term "right" is used in a legal or moral sense, the nation had a right to know imo.

You didn't know we had special ops forces? Believe me other countries knew we do. If that was kept secret, it would only be a secret in the US.

How was any intelligence blown?

With your thinking Bush committed treason when he announced we were after Bin Laden and then again when he announced we weren't.

When Obama announced the death of Bin Laden the reasons are obvious to most Americans and the rest of the world. What was the reason for outing Valerie Plame?

God!! I thought you had disappered but here you are being you and not making sense again.

Well you have certainly added a lot to this discussion.

The Ninth Amendment does not grant blanket rights, much less any rights. It concedes there are other rights we may have as citizens not specified in the Bill of Rights or its later Amendments. You do NOT have unilateral rights to any and all information the government has. Even with the Freedom of Info. Act, you are still limited to matters that do not affect national security. Look at Presidential Gag Orders. You and the liberals just don't get it. In the case with releasing the news of Bin Laden's death, why do YOU deserve to know in real time just as the POTUS sees it? Watch the fim again man--it compromised national security and ruined much of the value of the intel collected. Don't you get that? Sheeesh!

How was national security compromised? And what intel collected was ruined?

In your previous post you said where in the Constitution was our right to know? QUOTE Where is that in the Constitution?
I like the founders believe that not all rights are listed in the Constitution. I actually used the term in more of a moral sense than a legal one. It is a silly notion to suggest that the announcement of Bin Laden's death should not have been announced. The topic of leaks in govt is a valid one but it is not being seriously discussed by those bunch of phonies in that silly PAC or the posters here.
